Thank you to everyone for your warm welcomes. This is really a very nice community. I have researched the prices of the various generations and have been budgeting to pay the price for the cat that I want. I did the same form of research before I bought my Bengal. He was just a bit more than what I had budgeted for, but when the right cat comes along, it will be with the cost. I look forward to reading all the posts and eventually posting some of my own questions and threads in the immediate future.
Ooohhhh! I can see you have definitely been hitting the Scotch over there. It's not only wickedly smooth, buy it will sneek up on your fairly fast.
